The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Halo preview at Gamers.com

Thanks to Bob Blandeburgo, who pointed out a new Halo preview at Gamers.com – it’s a good read. The control scheme is described in detail, for those who have been curious, and there aren’t any spoilers, for those trying to avoid too much information. They complain about the standard thing PC gamers complain about – lack of mouse and keyboard support – and they mention framerate stutters, though they point out that they have a pre-gold release of the game… generally, they liked it. Also included are 25 screen captures, many showing areas not seen before. These are 640×480; it’s clear, however, that these were grabbed from a 320×240 movie and blown up to double-size. However, they’re still worth a look; some are just plain fun.
